Immediately after the Asian Badminton championships in New Delhi in April, one was witness to a highly unusual but amusing incident at the Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy, Hyderabad. It illustrated the way former All- England champion Gopichand is committed as Indian badminton coach.
While Gopi was busy with some 70 odd juniors at his summer camp, a five-year-old girl trotted up to the Droncharya awardee and demanded as to why he was absent for the last 10 days. Gopi lifted her saying: "Sorry, but I was away on work (doing national duty at the Asians), but I'm back now to play with you."
The entire evening, till Saina Nehwal and other seniors trooped in, Gopi gave the tiny tot all the time and attention she wanted.
